   I am so glad I made time to watch this in the cinema. I kept dragging my feet to do so for some reason. Probably the best sci fi I have ever seen in a long long long time. Even better than #Dune part 1.
   I love how each "culture" has such a distinctive look and feel.

     There's so much rich detail in the book that it was always going to be a challenge to make a watchable film that made sense. I think they've captured it really well, with some beautifully made scenes that really bring the writing to life. Definitely deserves a big screen 😎

     @Graffotti and what I love is it captures the themes of the novel so well. Saviours are not always heroes; they can be charismatic tyrants that need to sacrifice their ideals and love to achieve their ends, which can ironically be good and terrible for mankind.

     @Graffotti and yes the double edged sword of faith and fanatism. 😬

     Yeah, which will link nicely into Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, if the funding is patient enough for them 🙏
